| Abstract | Metallogels of an amphiphilic L-histidine derivative (LHC18) with various transition metal ions were investigated. It was found that while the amphiphile formed precipitates in aqueous solution when mixed with Cu2+, Zn2+, Ni2+, it formed a hydrogel with Fe3+. Interestingly, upon cooling the transparent solution of LHC18 with Fe3+ to room temperature gently without any interruption, the gel was formed. Upon further resting at room temperature, the gel underwent shrinkage and 90% of ferric water was expelled from the gel. On the other hand, if the as-formed gel was shaken or shear forces were applied, the gel would collapse into sol. The collapsed sol will recover to become the gel within one minute upon resting and the process can be repeated many times. In addition, once the gel experiences the thixotropic process, it will not shrink anymore. So far, various metallogels have been reported, and we show the first example of a metallogel that shows dual shrinkage and self-healing properties. Introduction to the international collaboration Our laboratory has a long history of collaboration with the European Union. Prof. T. Wang who has authored this paper has done his post-doctoral research at the Free University of Berlin in Germany with Prof. Dr J.-H. Fuhrhop. Some of our students have further fulfilled their PhD or worked as Postdoctoral Researchers in several European countries. In particular, two of them have been supported by the Humboldt Research Fellowships and have now returned to China and are actively working in the academic and industrial fields. We have collaborated with Prof. E. Benchou, Laboratoire de Spectrométrie Ionique et Moléculaire, Université Claude Bernard Lyon in France for investigation on the supramolecular chirality in monolayers at the air/water interface and co-published a paper. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
